Here's a photo & video of my current set up

I've just ordered from Aquariums Ltd a 60 (L) x 31(W) x 45 (H) braceless opti-white tank. I've got a bag of ADA aquasoil amazonia & powersand special at home already. I'm going to use a 2 x T8 15w lights and injected c02. I've got 3 bits of redmoor root soaking at the moment.

I would love some ideas on what to plant. I want it to look different to my current tank which is quite a jungle. I know my lights are not incredibly powerful but feel they should be ok for most plants. I do want to have some sort of moss on the red moor root but I've only ever tried Java moss.

Any plant ideas would be very helpful!

Thanks!

Nice tank Russ nice growth from the plants especially.

I think you'd need to be careful with plant selection as your lighting is a bit on the low side. Mosses, ferns, crypts and anubias would do well, thought that would probably make it look jungly.

Staurgyne for a stem plant would do lovely in this setup

Cheers! Will look at a few other lighting options but budget is tight!

Staurgyne is a good idea!
